It can be tricky but there is no real bone or cartilage in most pinkies - heating them up helps soften what is there. If you are worried you can masserate them with the back of a spoon to reduce the problem - it just makes a messy job a little messier. I haven't yet fired a hatchling accross the room but then I insert quite a short distance into the snakes throat and would withdraw if the resistance felt wrong. Common sense is definitely needed though. I have seen people introduce far too much at a time and cause a regurge.
